Jeb! Struggles to Build Excitement

That exclamation point at the end of Jeb Bush’s campaign logo might not signify excitement for his candidacy as much as it does shock at how poorly the presumptive GOP presidential frontrunner has done. Bush is languishing in sixth place in the Real Clear Politics average of national polls. Despite raising mounds of campaign cash from wealthy donors, Bush has thus far failed to win over grassroots voters. His lame gibes have also fallen flat when up against Donald Trump’s stinging insults.
